Once Upon a Time (2011) -2×8- Into the Deep








I liked that Granny's savvy enough to want to keep paying customers well, and preemptively called for the diner to close. She's heard that tone of Regina's before and Granny wasn't gonna take chances!

For a minute, I was concerned that David wasn't sitting down to pick his finger; I didn't realize they were in the same space as where Henry was on the cot. It would've been poor David's luck to get gung-ho and not think about after the spell took over. Speaking of luck, I'm beginning to think like Snow- they are cursed to small periods of happiness because they believe in each other so strongly. That's why they are constantly torn away from each other, because they do find each other in the end.

Ginnifer Goodwin needs a frickin' Emmy. She plays such a range of emotions most every week! The scene with Emma about blame, the scene in the Fiery Room with David, her 'welp, nice to meet ya, Mulan' 'tude as she readied to freakin' kill Mulan! Snow is on par with Granny as far as badass grandmas go, imo. Mulan's almost acceptance of Snow's choice was interesting. Aurora is her line in the sand; Storybrooke is Snow's. Of course, Mulan didn't know (and could probably care less) about David's situation, but Mulan has been shown to be pragmatic, mostly. I have to agree with Mulan about one thing: they are doing a hella lot of walking. I get tired thinking about how much walking they do in one episode (in Enchanted Present.) It's always in a time crunch too, so I kinda feel part of where Mulan was coming from- we traipse to place X, you talk to someone from your world, we traipse to place Y to find object J and you talk to someone in your dream again. We have to haul ass to place Z and find Object T...

IA that the Aurora heart-snatch was out of left-field to me. I can understand that the three big images of the series have the knowledge, but Hook? Really Show? Also, you can give control of the heart to whomever you wish, as seen with Hook letting Cora control Aurora? Granted, we've only seen folks who want to directly control the folks whose hearts have been removed,but this seems...too easy(?).

I know that the magic diamonds have just been found, show-wise, but shouldn't the fairies be a little more involved in watching over the town, as well as David and Henry as they are the folks who can help them regain their powers? Something I was just wondering. Plus I love Grumpy and Astra(?).
